Rhea-AI Filing Summary
The Toronto-Dominion Bank is offering contingent income auto-callable senior debt securities due January 15, 2027, linked to the worst performer between NVIDIA common stock and Taiwan Semiconductor ADRs. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and can pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $40.65 (equivalent to 16.26% per annum) if on a determination date both underlying stocks are at or above 60.00% of their initial share prices.
The notes are auto-callable if, on any non-final determination date, both stocks are at or above 100.00% of their initial share prices, in which case investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and the notes terminate. If not called, and at maturity any stock finishes below 60.00% of its initial share price, investors are exposed on a 1‑for‑1 basis to the decline of the worst-performing stock and can lose most or all of principal. The securities are senior unsecured obligations of TD, not principal-protected, not listed on an exchange, and carry complex liquidity, valuation and tax risks. The preliminary estimated value is between $930.00 and $965.00 per security, below the $1,000 issue price.

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due January 15, 2027
Based on the Worst Performing of the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation and the American Depositary Receipts of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited
Principal at Risk Securities
Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities (the “securities”) do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not provide for the regular payment of interest.
Instead, the securities offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly coupon with respect to each determination date on which the closing price of each underlying stock is greater than or equal to 60.00% of its initial share price, which we refer to as its coupon threshold price. In addition, if the closing prices of all of the underlying
stocks on any determination date other than the final determination date are greater than or equal to their respective call threshold prices, the securities will be automatically redeemed for an amount per
security equal to (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the contingent quarterly coupon otherwise payable with respect to the applicable determination date. No further payments will be made on the
securities once they have been redeemed. However, if the closing price of any underlying stock on any determination date is less than its call threshold price, the
securities will not be automatically redeemed and, if the closing price of any underlying stock is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive any
contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the applicable determination date. As a result, investors must be willing to accept the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly coupons during the term of the securities. Furthermore, if the final
share price of any underlying stock is less than 60.00% of its initial share price, which we refer to as its downside threshold price, The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD”
or “we”) will pay you a cash payment per security that will be less than the stated principal amount and you will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the decline of the worst performing underlying stock. In this
scenario, you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities. Accordingly, the securities do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stocks
and will not realize a return beyond the returns represented by the contingent quarterly coupons received, if any, during the term of the securities. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing underlying stock, a decline
beyond the respective coupon threshold price and/or downside threshold price, as applicable, of any underlying stock will result in few or no contingent quarterly coupons and/or a loss of a significant portion
and up to your entire investment in the securities even if the other underlying stocks appreciate or have not declined as much. These securities are for investors who are willing to risk their entire investment based on the worst performing of each
of the underlying stocks and who seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving no interest over the entire term of the securities. The securities are senior unsecured debt securities
issued by TD. The securities are notes issued as part of TD’s Senior Debt Securities, Series H. All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of TD. If TD were to default on its payment obligations,
you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities and you could lose your entire investment in the securities. These securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any security interest in, or otherwise have any access
to, any underlying reference asset or assets.

Investment Summary
Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities
Principal at Risk Securities
The Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due January 15, 2027 Based on the Worst Performing of the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation and the American Depositary Receipts of Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Company Limited, which we refer to as the securities, provide an opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly coupon, which is an amount equal to $40.65 (equivalent to 16.26% per annum of the stated principal amount) per
security, with respect to each determination date on which the closing prices or the final share prices, as applicable, of all of the underlying stocks are greater than or
equal to 60.00% of their respective initial share prices, which we refer to as the coupon threshold prices. The contingent quarterly coupon, if any, will be payable on the relevant contingent coupon payment date specified on the cover
hereof, which will generally be the third business day after the related determination date, except that the contingent coupon payment date for the final determination date will be the maturity date. It is possible
that the closing prices of one or more of the underlying stocks could remain less than their respective coupon threshold prices for extended periods of time or even throughout the term of the securities such that you may receive few or no
contingent quarterly coupons.
If the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks on any determination date other than the final determination date are greater
than or equal to their respective call threshold prices, the securities will be automatically redeemed for an amount per security equal to the early redemption payment, which will be (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the contingent quarterly coupon otherwise payable with respect to the applicable determination date. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final share prices of all
of the underlying stocks are greater than or equal to their respective coupon threshold prices and 60.00% of their respective initial share prices, which we refer to as the downside threshold prices, the
payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the contingent quarterly coupon otherwise payable with respect to the final determination date. If, however, the securities are not
redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of any underlying stock is less than its downside threshold price, investors will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to
the decline of the worst performing underlying stock. The value of the payment received by investors at maturity will be less than 60.00% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be as low as zero. Investors in the securities must
be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire investment in the securities and also the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly coupons during the term of the securities. In addition, investors will not participate in any appreciation
of the underlying stocks and will not realize a return beyond the returns represented by the contingent quarterly coupons received, if any, during the term of the securities.

Key Investment Rationale
The securities offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly coupon equal to $40.65 (equivalent to 16.26% per annum of the stated principal amount) per security, with respect to
each determination date on which the closing prices or the final share prices, as applicable, of all of the underlying stocks are greater than or equal to 60.00% of
their respective initial share prices, which we refer to as the coupon threshold prices. The securities may be redeemed prior to maturity at a price equal to the early redemption payment, which will be (i) the stated principal amount per security plus (ii) the contingent quarterly coupon otherwise payable with respect to the applicable determination date. The payment at maturity will vary depending on the final share prices, as follows:
|
Scenario 1
|
On any of the determination dates other than the final determination date, the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks are greater than or equal to
their respective call threshold prices.
|
|||
|
■
|
The securities will be automatically redeemed for an amount per security equal to the early redemption payment, which will be (i) the stated principal amount plus
(ii) the contingent quarterly coupon otherwise payable with respect to the applicable determination date.
|
|||
|
■
|
Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stocks from their respective initial share prices and will not realize a return beyond the returns represented by the
contingent quarterly coupons received, if any, during the term of the securities.
|
|||
|
Scenario 2
|
The securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final share prices of all of the underlying stocks are greater than or equal to their
respective downside threshold prices.
|
|||
|
■
|
The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the contingent quarterly coupon otherwise payable with respect to the
final determination date.
|
|||
|
■
|
Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stocks from their respective initial share prices and will not realize a return beyond the returns represented by the
contingent quarterly coupons received, if any, during the term of the securities.
|
|||
|
Scenario 3
|
The securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of any underlying stock is less than its downside threshold price.
|
|||
|
■
|
The payment due at maturity will be equal to (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the stated principal amount times
the underlying return of the worst performing underlying stock.
|
|||
|
■
|
Investors will lose a significant portion, and may lose all, of their investment in the securities in this scenario.
|
|||
Investing in the securities involves significant risks. You may lose a significant portion, and may lose all, of your investment in the securities. Any payment on the securities,
including payments in respect of an early redemption, contingent quarterly coupon or any repayment of principal provided at maturity, is dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities and, therefore, investors are subject to the
credit risk of TD. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.
The securities will not pay a contingent quarterly coupon on a contingent coupon payment date (including the maturity date) if the closing price of any underlying stock on the
applicable determination date is less than its coupon threshold price. The securities will not be automatically redeemed if the closing price of any underlying stock on an applicable determination date other than the final determination date is less
than its call threshold price. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of any underlying stock is less than its downside threshold price, you will lose a significant portion, and may lose all, of your investment
in the securities.

In Examples 1 and 2, the closing prices of the underlying stocks fluctuate over the term of the securities and the closing prices of all of the underlying
stocks are greater than or equal to their respective hypothetical call threshold prices on a determination date prior to the final determination date. Because the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks are greater than their respective call
threshold prices on one of the determination dates prior to the final determination date, the securities are automatically redeemed on the relevant contingent coupon payment date. In Examples 3 and 4, the closing price of at least one underlying
stock on each of the determination dates prior to the final determination date is less than its call threshold price, and, consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding until, maturity.

| ■ |
In Example 1, the securities are automatically redeemed following the first determination date as the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks on such
determination date are greater than or equal to their respective call threshold prices. Because the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks on such determination date are greater than or equal
to their respective coupon threshold prices, on the corresponding contingent coupon payment date, you receive an early redemption payment of $1,040.65, which includes the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the first determination
date.
|
In this example, the early redemption feature limits the term of your investment to approximately 3 months and you may not be able to reinvest
at a comparable risk or yield. You will not receive any further payments on the securities following an early redemption. Your total payment per security in this example is $1,040.65 (a total return of 4.065% on the securities).
| ■ |
In Example 2, the securities are automatically redeemed following the third determination date as the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks on such
determination date are greater than or equal to their respective call threshold prices. As the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks on the first determination date are greater than or equal
to their respective coupon threshold prices, you receive the contingent quarterly coupon of $40.65 with respect to such determination date. Because, however, the closing price of at least one
underlying stock on the second determination date is less than its coupon threshold price, no contingent quarterly coupon is made with respect to such determination date.
|
On the contingent coupon payment date corresponding to the third determination date, you receive an early redemption payment of $1,040.65, which includes the contingent quarterly
coupon with respect to such determination date.
In this example, the early redemption feature limits the term of your investment to approximately 9 months and you may not be able to reinvest at a
comparable risk or yield. If the securities are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent quarterly coupons. Further, although all of the underlying stocks have appreciated by 20.00% from their respective initial share prices on the third
determination date, you only receive $1,040.65 per security and do not benefit from such appreciation. When added to the contingent quarterly coupon of $40.65 received in respect of the first determination date, your total payment per security in
this example is $1,081.30 (a total return of 8.13% on the securities).

The final contingent quarterly coupon, if any, will be paid at maturity.

Examples 3 and 4 illustrate the payment at maturity per security based on the final share price.

■
|
In Example 3, the closing price of at least one of the underlying
stocks on each determination date prior to the final determination date is less than its coupon threshold price and the closing price of at least one of the underlying stocks is less than its call
threshold price. As a result, you do not receive a contingent quarterly coupon with respect to any of those determination dates and the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity. Because the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks on the final determination date are greater than or equal to their respective downside threshold prices and coupon threshold prices, at maturity you receive the stated
principal amount plus the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the final determination date. Your payment at maturity is calculated as follows:

Principal at Risk Securities
|
$1,000.00 + $40.65 = $1,040.65
In this example, you receive the stated principal amount per security plus the contingent quarterly coupon, equal to a total payment of $1,040.65 per security at maturity. Your
total payment per security in this example is $1,040.65 (a total return of 4.065% on the securities).
|
■
|
In Example 4, the closing price of at least one of the underlying
stocks on each determination date throughout the term of the securities is less than its coupon threshold price and call threshold price. As a result, you do not receive any contingent quarterly coupon during the term of the securities and
the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity. Furthermore, because the final share price of at least one of the underlying stocks is less than its downside threshold price, you
receive a cash payment at maturity calculated as follows:
|
$1,000.00+ ($1,000.00 × underlying return of the worst performing underlying stock)
= $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × -60.00%)
= $400.00
In this example, your payment at maturity is significantly less than the stated principal amount and you will receive a total
cash payment per security at maturity equal to $400.00 (a loss of 60.00% on the securities).
We make no representation or warranty as to which of the underlying stocks will be the worst performing underlying stock for the purposes of calculating your actual payment at
maturity.
Investing in the securities involves significant risks. The securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that TD is not necessarily obligated to repay the full amount of your
investment in the securities. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of any underlying stock is less than its downside threshold price, TD will pay you a cash payment per security that will be less than the
stated principal amount, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss on your stated principal amount that is equal to the underlying return of the worst performing underlying stock. In such circumstances, the amount you receive at maturity will be
less than 60.00% of the stated principal amount and you may lose your entire investment in the securities.
The securities will not pay a contingent quarterly coupon if the closing price of any underlying stock on any determination date is less than its coupon threshold price. The
securities will not be automatically redeemed with respect to any determination date in respect of which an early redemption may occur unless the closing price of each underlying stock on the relevant determination date is greater than or equal to
its respective call threshold price.
You will be exposed to the market risk of each underlying stock on each determination date (including the final determination date) and any decline in the price of one underlying
stock may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the price of any other underlying stock.
Any payment to be made on the securities, including any repayment of principal, is dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities and, therefore, investors are
subject to the credit risk of TD. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.

Risk Factors
The securities involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the terms of the
securities. For additional information as to these and other risks, please see “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the product supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus. Investors should consult their investment, legal, tax,
accounting and other advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the securities and the suitability of the securities in light of their particular circumstances.
Risks Relating to Return Characteristics
| ■ |
Risk of significant loss at maturity. The securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that TD will not necessarily repay the stated principal amount of the securities at maturity. If the
securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, TD will repay you the stated principal amount of your securities in cash only if the final share prices of all of the underlying stocks are greater than
or equal to their respective downside threshold prices and will only make such payment at maturity. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of any underlying stock is less than its downside threshold
price, you will receive a cash payment per security that will be less than the stated principal amount and you will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the decline of the worst performing underlying stock. You
may lose your entire investment in the securities.
|
| ■ |
Contingent repayment of stated principal amount only at maturity. If your securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity. If you are able to
sell your securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your investment even if the then-current prices of all of the underlying stocks are greater than or equal to their respective
downside threshold prices.
|
| ■ |
You may not receive any contingent quarterly coupons. TD will not necessarily make periodic payments on the securities. If the closing price of any of the
underlying stocks on any determination date is less than its coupon threshold price, TD will not pay you the contingent quarterly coupon applicable to such determination date. If the closing price of any of the underlying stocks is less than
its coupon threshold price on each of the determination dates, TD will not pay you any contingent quarterly coupons during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, your securities. Generally, this non-payment of the
contingent quarterly coupon coincides with a period of greater risk of principal loss on your securities.
|
| ■ |
Greater expected volatility with respect to, and lower expected correlation of, the underlying stocks generally reflects a higher contingent quarterly coupon and a higher expectation as of the pricing date
that the final share price of any of the underlying stocks could be less than its downside threshold price. Greater expected volatility with respect to, and lower expected correlation of, the underlying stocks reflects a higher
expectation as of the pricing date that the final share price of any of the underlying stocks could be less than its downside threshold price. “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the price of an underlying stock.
This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher contingent quarterly coupon for that security. However, while the contingent quarterly coupon is set on the pricing date based, in part, on the correlations of the underlying
stocks and each underlying stock’s volatility calculated using our internal models, an underlying stock’s volatility, and the correlation among the underlying stocks, can change significantly over the term of the securities. The price of any
underlying stock could fall sharply, which could result in the loss of a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities.
|
| ■ |
The securities are subject to reinvestment risk in the event of an early redemption. The securities will be automatically redeemed prior to maturity if the closing prices of all of the underlying stocks on any determination date other than the final determination date are greater than or equal to their call threshold prices and you will not receive any more contingent quarterly
coupons after the related contingent coupon payment date. Conversely, the securities will not be automatically redeemed when the closing price of any one of the underlying stocks on any determination
date is less than its call threshold price, which generally coincides with a greater risk of principal loss on your securities. The securities could be redeemed as early as the first contingent coupon payment date, potentially limiting your
investment to a term of approximately 3 months. In the event that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, there is no guarantee that you will be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable rate of
return for a similar level of risk. In addition, to the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment comparable to the securities, you will incur transaction costs and the original issue price for such an investment is
likely to include certain built-in costs such as dealer discounts and hedging costs.

The contingent quarterly coupon, if any, is based solely on the closing price of each underlying stock on only the related
determination date. Whether the contingent quarterly coupon will be paid on any contingent coupon payment date will be based on the closing price of each underlying stock on the relevant determination
date. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive the contingent quarterly coupon on any determination date until the related determination date. Moreover, because the contingent quarterly
coupon is based solely on the closing price of each underlying stock on a specific determination date if the closing price of any underlying stock on any determination date is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive the
contingent quarterly coupon with respect to such determination date, even if the price of such underlying stock was greater than or equal to its respective coupon threshold price on other days during the term of the securities, and even if
the closing price(s) of one or both of the other underlying stocks are at or above their respective coupon threshold prices.
|
| ■ |
Your potential return on the securities is limited, you will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stocks and you will not realize a return beyond the returns represented by the contingent
quarterly coupons received, if any, during the term of the securities. The return potential of the securities is limited to the contingent quarterly coupons, regardless of the appreciation of the underlying stocks. In addition, your
return on the securities will vary based on the number of determination dates on which the requirements of the contingent quarterly coupon have been met prior to maturity or an early redemption. Furthermore, if the securities are redeemed
prior to maturity, you will not receive any contingent quarterly coupons or any other payment in respect of any determination dates after the applicable contingent coupon payment date, and your return on the securities could be less than if
the securities remained outstanding until maturity. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, you may be subject to the depreciation in the price of the worst performing underlying stock even though you cannot participate in any
appreciation in the prices of the underlying stocks. As a result, the return on an investment in the securities could be less than the return on a direct investment in any or all of the underlying stocks. In addition, as an owner of the
securities, you will not receive any dividends or distributions on any of the underlying stocks and you will not have voting rights or any other rights of a holder of any of the underlying stocks.
|
| ■ |
You are exposed to the market risk of each of the underlying stocks. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of the underlying stocks. Rather, it will be contingent upon
the performance of each underlying stock. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of indices, common stocks or other underlying assets, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all of the components of the basket, you
will be exposed equally to the risks related to each of the underlying stocks. Poor performance by any one underlying stock may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by the performance of any other underlying
stock. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each underlying stock.
|
| ■ |
Because the securities are linked to the performance of more than one underlying stock, there is an increased probability that you will not receive a contingent quarterly coupon on any determination date
and that you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities. The risk that you will not receive a contingent quarterly coupon on any determination date and that you will lose a significant portion or all
of your investment in the securities is greater if you invest in the securities as opposed to securities that are linked to the performance of a single underlying stock if their terms are otherwise substantially similar. With a greater total
number of underlying stocks, it is more likely that the closing price or the final share price, as applicable, of any of the underlying stocks will be less than its coupon threshold price and/or
downside threshold price. Therefore, it is more likely that you will (a) not receive any contingent quarterly coupons and/or (b) receive an amount in cash that is worth less than your stated principal amount on the maturity date than would
have been the case had the securities been linked to only one of the underlying stocks. In addition, if the performances of the underlying stocks are not correlated to each other, the risk that the closing price (on any determination date
other than the final determination date) or the final share price, as applicable, of any of the underlying stocks is less than its coupon threshold price or downside threshold price is even greater.
|
Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Underlying Stocks
| ■ |
The price of each underlying stock will be affected by various factors that interact in complex and unpredictable ways. The return on the securities, which may be negative, is linked to the
performance of each underlying stock. The price of each underlying stock can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to their issuers (each, an “underlying stock issuer”), such as stock or commodity price volatility, earnings, financial
conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market or commodity market volatility and prices, interest rates and
economic and political conditions. You, as an investor in the securities, should make your own investigation into the underlying stocks and the underlying stock issuers. For additional information regarding the underlying stock issuers,
please see “Information About the Underlying Stocks” below and the SEC filings referred to in that section. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the underlying stock
issuers with the SEC.

There can be no assurance that the investment view implicit in the securities will be successful. It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the price of the underlying stocks will
rise or fall and there can be no assurance that the closing price of each underlying stock on any determination date will be greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price, or, if the securities
are not redeemed prior to maturity, that the final share price of each underlying stock on the final valuation date will be greater than or equal to its downside threshold price. The prices of the
underlying stocks will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the underlying stocks and the underlying stock issuers. You should be willing to accept the downside risks of owning
equities in general and the underlying stocks in particular, and the risk of losing a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities.
|
| ■ |
There are risks associated with emerging market companies. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is organized in an emerging market country. Securities of emerging market companies may be more
volatile and may be affected by market developments differently than U.S. companies. Government interventions to stabilize securities markets and cross-shareholdings may affect prices and volume of trading of the securities of emerging market
companies. Economic, social, political, financial and military factors could, in turn, negatively affect such companies’ value. These factors could include changes in the emerging market government’s economic and fiscal policies, possible
imposition of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to the emerging market companies or investments in their securities, and the possibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies.
Moreover, emerging market economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in a variety of ways, including growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.
|
| ■ |
The securities are subject to exchange rate risk. Because American depositary receipts are denominated in U.S. dollars but represent non-U.S. equity securities that are denominated in a non-U.S.
currency, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the value of the American depositary receipts. The value of the non-U.S. currency may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation due to changes in interest rates, the effects
of monetary policies issued by the United States, non-U.S. governments, central banks or supranational entities, the imposition of currency controls or other national or global political or economic developments. Therefore, exposure to
exchange rate risk may adversely affect the market value of, and return on, the securities.
|
| ■ |
There are important differences between the American depositary receipts and the ordinary shares of a non-U.S. company. The securities are linked to the American depositary receipts of a non-U.S.
company. There are important differences between the rights of holders of an American depositary receipt and the non-U.S. stock such American depositary receipt represents. The American depositary receipts are issued pursuant to a deposit
agreement, which sets forth the rights and responsibilities of the depositary, the non-U.S. company and holders of the American depositary receipts, which may be different from the rights of holders of the non-U.S. stock. For example, a
company may make distributions in respect of the non-U.S. stock that are not passed on to the holders of its American depositary receipts. Any such differences between the rights of holders of the American depositary receipts and the rights
of holders of the ordinary shares of the non-U.S. company may be significant and may materially and adversely affect the value of the American depositary receipts and, as a result, the value of your securities.
|
| ■ |
The securities are subject to sector concentration risk. The securities are subject to sector concentration risk because each underlying stock issuer operates in the same sector, as described below
under “Information About the Underlying Stocks”. The performance of these companies is subject to a number of complex and unpredictable factors such as government regulation, supply and demand for the products and services produced or offered
by such companies and industry competition. Any negative developments may have a negative effect on the underlying stock issuers and, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on the value of, and return on, the securities. By investing in
the securities, you will not benefit from the diversification which could result from an investment linked to the performance of companies that operate in multiple sectors.
|
| ■ |
There is no affiliation between TD and the underlying stock issuers. The underlying stock issuers are not affiliates of ours, are not involved with the offering in any way, and have no obligation to
consider your interests in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the securities. We have not made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the underlying stocks.
|
Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity
| ■ |
The estimated value of your securities is expected to be less than the public offering price of your securities. The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is expected to be less
than the public offering price of your securities. The difference between the public offering price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the
securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than
expected, or a loss.

|
| ■ |
The estimated value of your securities is based on our internal funding rate. The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is determined by reference to our internal funding rate. The
internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our
conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in
comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our
conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Additionally,
assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities is expected to increase the estimated value of the securities at any time.
|
| ■ |
The estimated value of the securities is based on our internal pricing models, which may prove to be inaccurate and may be different from the pricing models of other financial institutions. The
estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models when the terms of the securities are set, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal funding rate on the pricing date, and
are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and
the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market
price of your securities may be materially less than the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any
assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
|
| ■ |
The estimated value of your securities is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your securities in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be less
than the public offering price of your securities and may be less than the estimated value of your securities. The estimated value of the securities is not a prediction of the prices at which the agent, other affiliates of ours or
third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your securities in the
secondary market at any time, if any, will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than the estimated value of the
securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with
selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of your securities will likely be less than the public offering price of your securities. As a result, the price at which
the agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the
maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
| ■ |
The temporary price at which the agent may initially buy the securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your securities. Assuming that all relevant factors remain
constant after the pricing date, the price at which the agent may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if the agent makes a market in the securities, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of
the securities on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the original issue date of the securities, as discussed further under “Additional Information About the Securities —
Additional information regarding the estimated value of the securities”. The price at which the agent may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your securities.
|

The underwriting discount, offering expenses and certain hedging costs are likely to adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors,
the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the securities will likely be less than the public offering price. The public offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, any underwriting discount paid in
connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs,
such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction.
|
| ■ |
There may not be an active trading market for the securities — sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The
securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network. The agent or another one of our affiliates may make a market for the securities; however, it is not required to do so and may stop any
market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the securities develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be
high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your securities in any secondary market could be substantial. If you sell your securities before the maturity date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the
public offering price irrespective of the price of the underlying stocks, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.

If the price of an underlying stock changes, the market value of your securities may not change in the same manner. Your securities may trade quite differently from the performance of each
underlying stock. Changes in the price of an underlying stock may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your securities. Even if the closing price of an underlying stock remains greater than or equal to the downside
threshold price or increases to greater than the call threshold price during the term of the securities, the market value of your securities may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
|
Risks Relating to General Credit Characteristics
| ■ |
Investors are subject to TD’s credit risk, and TD’s credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities. Although the return on the securities will be based on
the performance of the underlying stocks, the payment of any amount due on the securities is subject to TD’s credit risk. The securities are TD’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts
due on the securities and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of TD and to changes in the market’s view of TD’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in TD’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for
taking TD’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.
|
Risks Relating to Hedging Activities and Conflicts of Interest
| ■ |
There are potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent. The calculation agent will, among other things, determine the amounts payable on the securities. We will serve as the
calculation agent and may appoint a different calculation agent after the original issue date without notice to you. The calculation agent will exercise its judgment when performing its functions and may have a conflict of interest if it
needs to make certain decisions. For example, the calculation agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting an underlying stock has occurred, and make certain adjustments if certain events occur, which may, in turn,
depend on the calculation agent’s judgment as to whether the event has materially interfered with our ability or the ability of one of our affiliates to unwind our hedge positions. Because this determination by the calculation agent may
affect the amounts payable on the securities, the calculation agent may have a conflict of interest if it needs to make a determination of this kind. For additional information on the calculation agent’s role, see “General Terms of the Notes
— Role of Calculation Agent” in the product supplement.
|
| ■ |
The determination dates and related payment dates are subject to market disruption events and postponements. Each determination date (including the final determination date) and related payment date
(including the maturity date) is subject to postponement due to the occurrence of one of more market disruption events. For a description of what constitutes a market disruption event as well as the consequences of that market disruption
event, see “General Terms of the Notes — Market Disruption Events” in the product supplement. A market disruption event for a particular underlying stock will not constitute a market disruption event for any other underlying stock.
|
| ■ |
The calculation agent can make antidilution and other adjustments that may adversely affect the market value of, and any amounts payable on, the securities. For antidilution and certain other events
affecting an underlying stock, the calculation agent may make adjustments to the initial share price, underlying return, call threshold price, coupon threshold price, downside threshold price, closing price and/or final share price, as
applicable, and any other term of the securities. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to every corporate event that could affect an underlying stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation
agent to make an adjustment, the market value of, and any payment on, the securities may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, all determinations and calculations concerning any such adjustments will be made by the calculation
agent. You should be aware that the calculation agent may make any such adjustment, determination or calculation in a manner that differs from that discussed in the accompanying product supplement or this document that it believes are
appropriate to offset to the extent practical any change in your economic position as a holder of the securities resulting solely from any such event to achieve an equitable result. Furthermore, in certain situations, such as when an
underlying stock undergoes a reorganization event or an underlying stock is delisted, an underlying stock may be replaced by distribution property or a substitute equity security, as discussed more fully in the product supplement under
“General Terms of the Notes — Delisting or Suspension of Trading in, or Change in Law Event Affecting, an Equity Security”, “— Delisting of ADRs or Termination of, or Change in Law Event Affecting, an ADR Facility and “— Anti-Dilution
Adjustments”. The occurrence of any such events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the market value of, and any amounts payable on, the securities.
|
Further, if the facility for the American depositary receipts between the applicable underlying stock issuer and the depositary for the American depositary receipts is terminated
for any reason, then the calculation agent will determine any amounts payable on the securities by reference to the ordinary shares represented by the underlying stock. If, however, a change in law occurs with respect to the underlying stock, then
the calculation agent may instead determine the closing price of the underlying stock as described above. Such delisting of the underlying stock or termination of the facility for such American depositary receipts, or change in law affecting the
underlying stock, and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the price of the underlying stock. For more information, see the sections as described under “General Terms of the Notes — Delisting or Suspension of Trading in, or
Change in Law Event Affecting, an Equity Security”, “— Delisting of ADRs or Termination of, or Change in Law Event Affecting, an ADR Facility and “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement.

There are legal and regulatory risks relating to an underlying stock issuer and the return on the securities may be based on a substitute security. Pursuant to certain executive orders, U.S. persons
are prohibited from engaging in transactions in publicly traded securities of certain companies that are determined to be linked to the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) military, intelligence and security apparatus. The prohibition also
covers any securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to, such securities. While Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is not currently designated as such a company, there can be no assurance that
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will not, in the future, become subject to the executive order, a similar bill, other executive action or other legal restrictions. Any such action could lead to the loss of a significant portion or
all of your initial investment.
|
In addition, under recent legislation, the SEC would be required to maintain a list of issuers for which the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is not able to inspect
or investigate an auditor report issued by a non U.S. public accounting firm, which would include many companies organized in, or with a parent company organized in, the PRC. While the proposal for implementation is still under consideration by the
SEC, this bill will require increased disclosure requirements for such issuers that do not comply with guidelines that are ultimately established, including, potentially, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. The designation of Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company as subject to the foregoing could lead to the delisting of the corresponding underlying stock. Additionally, following such a delisting the calculation agent may (but is not required to) select a substitute
security and/or make any other determinations as discussed further under “General Terms of the Notes — Delisting or Suspension of Trading in, or Change in Law Event Affecting, an Equity Security” in the accompanying product supplement.
| ■ |
Trading and business activities by TD or its affiliates may adversely affect the market value of, and any amounts payable on, the securities. We, the agent and/or our other affiliates may hedge our
obligations under the securities by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the price of an underlying stock, and we may adjust these hedges by, among other things,
purchasing or selling at any time any of the foregoing assets. It is possible that we or one or more of our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the market value of the securities declines. We or
one or more of our affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in an underlying stock.
|
These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders’ interest in the securities and the interests we and our affiliates will have in our or their proprietary
accounts, in facilitating transactions, including options and other derivatives transactions, for our or their customers’ accounts and in accounts under our or their management. These trading activities could be adverse to the interests of the
holders of the securities.
We, the agent and/or our other affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with the underlying stock issuers, including making loans to or providing advisory
services to those companies. These services could include investment banking and merger and acquisition advisory services. These business activities may present a conflict between our, the agent’s and/or our other affiliates’ obligations, and your
interests as a holder of the securities. Moreover, we, the agent and/or our other affiliates may have published, and in the future expect to publish, research reports with respect to an underlying stock. This research is modified from time to time
without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any of these activities by us and/or our other affiliates may affect the price
of an underlying stock and, therefore, the market value of, and any amounts payable on, the securities.
Risks Relating to Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Taxation
| ■ |
Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain. Significant aspects of the U.S. tax treatment of the securities are uncertain. You should read carefully the section
entitled “Material U.S. federal income tax consequences” herein and in the product supplement. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your investment in the securities.

For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the securities, please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences – Canadian
Taxation” and in the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences” and the further discussion herein under “Additional Information About the Securities”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined
in the prospectus) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the securities in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the securities and receiving the
payments that might be due under the securities.

Additional information regarding
the estimated value of the
securities:
|
The final terms for the securities will be determined on the date the securities are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, based on prevailing market
conditions, and will be communicated to investors in the final pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the securities are based on our internal funding rate (which is our internal borrowing rate based on variables such as market benchmarks and our appetite for borrowing),
and several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to TDS or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the
estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the securities, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the securities and the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our
obligations under the securities. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities
rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the securities.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the securities. The estimated value range was determined by reference to our internal pricing models
which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis,
time to maturity of the securities and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Risk

Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity” herein. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary
market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase the
estimated value of the securities. For more information see the discussion under “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity — The estimated value of your securities is based on our internal funding rate”.
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the agent may buy or sell
the securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the agent or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the agent may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our
estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 6 weeks after the original issue date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of
hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the securities. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary
reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the securities. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to
investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the original issue date of the securities
based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement for additional information.

|
Material Canadian income tax
consequences:
|
Please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences – Canadian Taxation” and in the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences”, which
applies to the securities. We will not pay any additional amounts as a result of any withholding required by reason of the rules governing hybrid mismatch arrangements contained in section 18.4 of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined in the
prospectus).
|
||
|
Material U.S. federal income tax
consequences:
|
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the securities are uncertain. There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial
decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the securities. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more
detailed discussion in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement and to discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of
which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not addressed herein. No ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of your investment in the securities, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.
|
||
|
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the securities, TD and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative
determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize the securities as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the underlying stocks. If your securities are so treated, any contingent quarterly coupon that is paid by TD
(including on the maturity date or upon early redemption) should be included in your income as ordinary income in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In addition, you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your securities in an amount equal to the difference between the
amount you receive at such time (other than amounts or proceeds attributable to a contingent quarterly coupon or any amount attributable to any accrued but unpaid contingent quarterly coupon) and the amount you paid for your securities. Such
gain or loss should generally be short-term capital gain or loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received from the taxable disposition of your securities prior
to a contingent coupon payment date, but that could be attributed to an expected contingent quarterly coupon, could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this risk.
|
|||
|
Section 1297. We will not attempt to ascertain whether any underlying stock issuer would be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”)
within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code. If any such entity were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply to a U.S. holder upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of a security. U.S.
holders should refer to information filed with the SEC or the equivalent governmental authority by such entities and consult their tax advisors regarding the possible consequences to them if any such entity is or becomes a PFIC.
|
|||
|
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, TD intends to treat your securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and under “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement unless and until such time as the IRS and the Treasury determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
|
|||
|
Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be
reasonable to treat your securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for
tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described
above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement.
|
|||
|
Notice 2008-2. In 2007, the IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the securities. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and
the Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the securities should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is
possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of the securities will ultimately be required to accrue income currently in excess of any receipt of contingent quarterly coupons and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. According
to the Notice, the IRS and the Treasury are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether non-U.S. holders of such instruments should
be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Code should be applied to such instruments. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their
tax advisors concerning the significance and potential impact of the above considerations.
|
|||
|
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income. U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or certain trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a
portion of their “net investment income,” or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust, which may include any income or gain realized with respect to the securities, to the extent of their net investment income
or undistributed net investment income (as the case may be) that, when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving
spouse), $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return or the dollar amount at which the highest tax bracket begins for an estate or trust. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the regular income tax.
U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.

Specified Foreign Financial Assets. Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of an applicable threshold may be
subject to reporting obligations with respect to such assets with their tax returns, especially if such assets are held outside the custody of a U.S. financial institution. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the
application of this legislation to their ownership of the securities.
|
|||
|
Non-U.S. Holders. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the contingent quarterly coupons is unclear. Subject to Section 871(m) of the Code and FATCA,
as discussed below, if the securities are offered to non-U.S. holders, we currently do not intend to treat contingent quarterly coupons paid to a non-U.S. holder that provides us (and/or the applicable withholding agent) with a fully
completed and validly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 as subject to U.S. withholding tax and we currently do not intend to withhold any tax on contingent quarterly coupons. However, it is possible that the IRS could assert that such payments
are subject to U.S. withholding tax, or that another withholding agent may otherwise determine that withholding is required, in which case we or the other withholding agent may withhold up to 30% on such payments (subject to reduction or
elimination of such withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty). We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding. Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed below, gain
realized from the taxable disposition of a security generally should not be subject to U.S. tax unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the U.S., (ii) the non-U.S. holder is a
non-resident alien individual and is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year of such taxable disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied, or (iii) the non-U.S. holder has certain other present or former
connections with the U.S.
|
|||
|
Section 897. We will not attempt to ascertain whether any underlying stock issuer would be treated as a “United States real property holding
corporation” (“USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code. We also have not attempted to determine whether the securities should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as defined in Section 897 of the
Code. If any such entity and/or the securities were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could possibly apply, including subjecting any gain to a non-U.S. holder in respect of a security upon a taxable disposition
of the securities to the U.S. federal income tax on a net basis, and the proceeds from such a taxable disposition to a 15% withholding tax. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential treatment of any underlying
stock issuer as a USRPHC and/or the securities as USRPI.

Section 871(m). A 30% withholding tax (which may be reduced by an applicable income tax treaty) is imposed under Section 871(m) of the Code on certain
“dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that references one or more dividend-paying U.S. equity securities. The withholding tax can apply even if the instrument
does not provide for payments that reference dividends. Treasury regulations provide that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked instruments that have a delta of one (“delta-one
specified equity-linked instruments”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all other specified equity-linked instruments issued after 2017. However, the IRS has issued guidance that states that the Treasury
and the IRS intend to amend the effective dates of the Treasury regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid will not apply to specified equity-linked instruments that are not delta-one specified
equity-linked instruments and are issued before January 1, 2027.
|
|||
|
Based on our determination that the securities are not “delta-one” with respect to any underlying stock, our special U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the securities should not be
delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and thus should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Furthermore, the application
of Section 871(m) of the Code will depend on our determinations made on the date the terms of the securities are set. If withholding is required, we will not make payments of any additional amounts.

Nevertheless, after the date the terms are set, it is possible that your securities could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the
underlying stocks or your securities, and following such occurrence your securities could be treated as delta-one specified equity-linked instruments that are subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. It is also possible that
withholding tax or other tax under Section 871(m) of the Code could apply to the securities under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into certain other transactions in respect of the underlying stocks or the securities. If you enter,
or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the underlying stocks or the securities, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to your securities in the context of your other
transactions.
|
|||
|
Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the securities, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an investment in the securities.

FATCA. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) was enacted on March 18, 2010, and imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on “withholdable
payments”(i.e., certain U.S.-source payments, including interest (and original issue discount), dividends, other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits and income, and the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a
type which can produce U.S.-source interest or dividends) and “passthru payments” (i.e., certain payments attributable to withholdable payments) made to certain foreign financial institutions (and certain of their affiliates) unless the payee
foreign financial institution agrees (or is required), among other things, to disclose the identity of any U.S. individual with an account at the institution (or the relevant affiliate) and to annually report certain information about such
account. FATCA also requires withholding agents making withholdable payments to certain foreign entities that do not disclose the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of any substantial U.S. owners (or do not certify that they do
not have any substantial U.S. owners) to withhold tax at a rate of 30%. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.
Pursuant to final and temporary Treasury regulations and other IRS guidance, the withholding and reporting requirements under FATCA will generally apply to certain “withholdable payments”, will
not apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition, and will apply to certain foreign passthru payments only to the extent that such payments are made after the date that is two years after final regulations defining the term “foreign
passthru payment” are published. If withholding is required, we (or the applicable paying agent) will not be required to pay additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign
entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Proposed Legislation. In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of securities similar to
the securities purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of such securities despite the fact that there may be no interest payments over the term of such securities.
|
|||
|
Furthermore, in 2013, the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments. If it had been enacted, the effect of this
legislation generally would have been to require instruments such as the securities to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions.
|
|||
|
It is not possible to predict whether any similar or identical bills will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your securities. You are urged to
consult your tax advisor regarding the possible changes in law and their possible impact on the tax treatment of your securities.
|
|||
|
Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations, as well as
any tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of the securities arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD and those of the underlying stock issuers).

Conflicts of Interest — TDS is an affiliate of TD and, as such, has a ‘‘conflict of interest’’ in this offering within the meaning of Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. If any other affiliate of TD participates in this offering, that affiliate will also have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. In addition, TD will receive the net
proceeds from the initial public offering of the securities, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the securities will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA
Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, neither TDS nor any other affiliate of ours is permitted to sell the securities in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written
approval of the account holder.

||
|
Prohibition on sales to EEA retail
investors:
|
The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic
Area (the “EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning
of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom
(“UK”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “EUWA”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97,
where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required
by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

FAQ
What are TD’s Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due January 15, 2027 (TD)?
They are senior unsecured structured notes of The Toronto-Dominion Bank linked to the worst performer of NVIDIA common stock and Taiwan Semiconductor ADRs. They offer potential high contingent coupons and early auto-call features but do not protect principal.
How does the contingent quarterly coupon work on TD’s structured notes?
On each determination date, if the closing prices of both underlying stocks are at or above 60.00% of their initial share prices, TD pays a $40.65 coupon per $1,000 security (equivalent to 16.26% per annum). If either stock is below its 60.00% coupon threshold, no coupon is paid for that quarter.
When can these TD securities be automatically redeemed early?
On any determination date other than the final one, if the closing prices of both NVIDIA and Taiwan Semiconductor are at or above 100.00% of their initial share prices, the notes are automatically redeemed. Investors then receive the $1,000 stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly coupon for that period, and no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity of TD’s contingent income auto-callable securities if they are not called?
If the notes are not redeemed early and, on the final determination date, the final share prices of both underlying stocks are at or above their 60.00% downside threshold prices, investors receive the $1,000 stated principal plus the final coupon. If any stock finishes below its 60.00% downside threshold, the payout is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the underlying return of the worst-performing stock, which can result in a payment of less than $600 and as low as zero.
Are these TD structured notes principal-protected?
No. The notes are explicitly described as Principal at Risk Securities. If, at maturity, the final share price of any underlying stock is below 60.00% of its initial share price, investors are exposed 1‑to‑1 to the decline of the worst-performing stock and can lose a significant portion or all of their investment.
What is the estimated value of TD’s contingent income auto-callable securities versus the issue price?
The issue price is $1,000.00 per security, while the preliminary estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $930.00 and $965.00 per security. The difference reflects TD’s internal funding rate, hedging costs, sales commissions, and structuring profit.
What are the key risks of investing in these TD structured notes?
Key risks include full principal loss risk if any underlying drops below its 60.00% downside threshold at maturity, the possibility of receiving few or no coupons, dependence on the creditworthiness of TD, lack of listing and potentially limited secondary market liquidity, and complex U.S. and Canadian tax treatment as described in the tax sections.
